The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

IT is lamentable that the Governor of
n great State should find satisfaction in
making bufi;oon of himself on every
public occasion. If Governor Foraker
can not curb his folly, he should estab-
lish strictly private circus, where he
could give loose rein to his clownish
propensity, and admit no one to the
performance except on presentation of
u complimentary ticket.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

If the professors in the State Uni
vcrsity were subject to Foraker's COM
mands, he would have them stumping
the State for him; and the students
could either follow the example or go
home. The present Governor knows
how to utilize public servants for his
personal ends.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

IT was not n "dirty Democrat" who
told the farmers of Ohio that they did
not pay their just proportion of the
taxes necessary to run the State gov
ernment The present Governor of
Ohio embodied the accusation in a
special message to the Legislature.

EVEN such a persistent and unscrup-
ulous howler against every thing DEM
ocratc rs the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette is occasionally driven to admit
that all the ability to administer re-
sponsible public offices does not reside
exclusively with Republicans. 1t was
continually boasting hat the Cincin-
natl post-office undee Colonel Whit
field was the best 1ged office in the
country, and suggested that it would
certainly not maintain its reputation
for efficiency under the new Demo-
cratic incumbent. This is one of the
many instances where the praises of
ones enemies arc especially significant.
Here is what the O. q. now says:
POSTMASTER Riley yesterday COM
pleted the report of the business of the
Cincinnati post-office for the fiscal year
ending June 80 last. 1t is Mr.. Riley's
first report, and gives an excellent ac-
count of his stewardship. 1t is. too,
the first report of the business of The post
office submitted TO the public since 1881.
The figures show that The business Of
Cincinnati Is incrcasiny yearly, for no
better barometer of tho state of busi-
ness can be found than post-ofiice re-
port The increase in the net revenue
of the Office is $28, 429.04. This increase
in yevenue toas attained ,0ithout such a
corresponding increase w expenses as
might be expected, As matter of fact.
thore was a decrease Of one per cent IN
the sepeases Of the office, a very hand
some exhibit, And still the @. G. will
go on insisting that the Democrats are
ruiuing the country.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

TIE Democratic party stands unal-
terably upon the principle of personal
liberty enunciated by Grover Clevc-
land in his letter of acceptance three
years ago: '.In free country the
curtailmcnt of the absolute rights of
the individual should be only such rs is
essential to the peace and good order
of the community"
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

IRoN-oRE laborers are protected"
by duty ON iron of 75 cents ton, and
do not earn rs cents day wages. A
hod-carrier is not protected and earns
$3.50 day. Great is the Republican
shibboleth of "protection."
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

THE fact that wool has been on q
decline in price ever since the tariff of
'67 was put on, would Indicate that
Foraker had something on which to
base his assertion that the tariff had
reduced prices 'two hundred per
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

DON'T forget the fact that the pres
ent Democratic administration has
thrown open to the people for settle
ment one hundred million acres of land,
which, through artiiice and fraud, were
stolen by corporations under Re-
publican rule, and not word said by
the great Republican party. Think of
it, farmers! One million farms Of one
hundred acres each saved to the people
by the Democrats which had been
stolen by the Republicans.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

IT is exceedingly doubtful whether
Foraker has found. or will find, in the
field of politics that soothing and
salntary distraction Of mind which he
seemed 10 need when he bade adieu to
the brain-racking and body-exhausting
duties of judicial career. Perhaps
the farmers of Ohio, in the generosity
of their hearts, and out of gratitude for
his efforts to ''even up" their taxes by
increasing the valuation of their farms,
will permit him to retire at the close of
the present year and to seek needed
refrcshment in those peaceful pastoral
avocations in which, four years ago,
he used to boast himself SO highly ac-
complished. AS dairy-maid he
might be II success, ii he could resist
the temptation to put his foot in the
milk.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

WHILE Republican demagogucs are
bowling about rebel flags. the admin
istration OF President Cleveland is
quietly, but none the less earnestly
and effectively, compelling the railroad
robbers to give up the public lands
they stole under Republican rule. The
restoration of these lands to the public
domain concerns the people great
deal more than Forakers opinions
about rebel flags.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

HENRY GEORGE wants the farmers
and land owners to pay all the taxes
j. b. Foraker also maintains that real
estate docs not pny tax enough.

1.-THE humbug of civil service reform
as professed by the Democratic Ad-
ministration is being rapidly exposed.
AS practiced it is Il fraud. "-Comn,er-
cial Gazette.
The kind of civil service reform
Halstead loves with all his soul is that
practiced by the notorious Republican
Board of Public Affairs in Cincinnati,
which unblushingly resolved that the
municipal affairs of that city ought to be
managed in the interest of the Repub-
lican party, and then removed every
Democrat holding position under the
board. This rule only works one way.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-09-24

THERE must be revaluation of real
estate at once. says j. b. Foraker. We
can not wait for the legally appointed
time in 1890. The farmers don't pay
taxes enough. We must get at them
at once, and that not in the ordinary
way. When the appraisers are elected
from among the farmers themselves
there is mutual desire and conspiracy
to keep down the valuation. We must
have State Commission appointed,
who will value all property irrespec-
tive of local judgment, us to its worth
Foraker feels sure that if the Legisla.
ture will give him the power to appoint
a State Board of Equalization, and en-
act that all property shall be revalued
now, he can seven it up on the farm
ers." For particulars see his message.

BETHEL STREET.

We have had occasion and so
have some of our correspondents,
to compliment Mr.. Hebbard, the
Road Supervisor, on the road work
so far done by him, and the energy
displayed in effecting repairs with
the limited means at control. We
are glad to say a good word for
anybody, when we conscientiously
believe they merit it. 1t is always
more agreeable to compliment than
to censure, and it is gratifying to
us to be able to commend the new
Road Supervisors operations so far.
1t is our intention, however, on the
present occasion, in referring to that
official, to call his attention to Bethel
street. This thoroughfare has been
widened from q narrow lane to a
street of respectable width; but the
expenditure of a little money and
labor is required on it to make it
fully serve the purpose of a street.
New and slightly brick buildings
have recently been erected on the
side where the enlargement has been
made; but the stone posts and the
dilapidated fountain that stood on
the former boundary line, are still
there, and tend to impede traffic.
These, and perhaps the trees which
stand there also, should be removed
as soon as convenient. 1t is q
thoroughfare of considerable traffic.
being a connecting link between
King and Merchant streets at an adj
vantageous place. 1t will be serv-
ing the public to remove the exist
ing Instructions with as little delay
as possible.

by the opposite one, that public
Office is q public trust, to be admin
istered on business principles, those
familiar with affairs in Honolulu
since the revolution can testify. If
the spoils do not belong TO the
victors, TO whom do they belong, is
the standard argument of those who
dare to argue at all in favor of the
doctrine so tersely formulated by
General Jackson. The answer to
this is that there are properly no
spoils. Salaries Of public offices
should be only just compensation
for the work required. Then where
will the spoils be? The system of
letting government contracts for
mechanical work TO favortes of
those in power without giving others
an equal opportunity, is universally
condemned. This has been made
the subject of legal enactment, and
it is now almost universally APP
proved. Why, then, should clerical
labor be placed upon a different
basis? The BULLETIN has held
steadily to the idea that the busi-
ness of the country should be con-
Quoted purely on business prin-
ciples, and we are not at all sur
prised Or disappointed that a con-
siderable number of people differ
from us. Step by step the prin-
ciple advances. 1t will not prevail
all at once, but eventually it will.

Pubic opinion grows Slowly
There was q time when the man
who refused to indorse the deci-
sions of the church, placed himself
outside of Christendom and beyond
the reach of the sympathy of his
brethren. Later, time came when
the supreme power and wisdom of
the representative of Christianity
and head of the Roman Church was
disputed. But this was not the
idea of religious liberty. The in
dividual who broke away from the
domination of the Bishop of Rome
placed himself in the power of,
either some other bishop, under
what name is of little importance,
or the "lord brethren" In view
of the history of the reformation
none will deny the statement that
it was not a movement for religious
liberty, though it tended strongly
in that direction. First came a
revolt against the existing power,
followed, in many cases, by war
between the old power and the new.
Then, as the powers became num-
erous and almost evenly balanced,
truces were made, and the age of
liberation began. But it was not
till many years later that the idea
of religious liberty, the liberty
which each man has, to act upon
his own religious convictions, made
much progress. Though this growth
has been in progress for so many
years it is far from complete to-day.
States, churches, and especially
pious individuals hold very tena-
ciously to the old ideas. Step by
step men progress, IN religious ana
also in political thought.
The idea that political power
emanates from the people and not
from the throne, has been growing
for centuries and still it has not
fully prevailed. Even in England
and among the Anglo-Saxon people.
who from their earliest history have
held, in varying degrees, that the
power of the ruler is given him by
the people, the opposite idea has
made considerable struggle. Al
last, however, it has prevailed il
England in all but FORM. In France
the rise of the new idea brought
about the bloody revolution, il
which the right came out victoriou;
through great tribulation. In thi;
country the new Constitution is the
first recognition that the power Of
the King is confirmed upon him by
the people. And even in this The
form indicates the opposite state o.
things. Can it be wondered at thai
such a theory of government is ac
cepted with hesitancy by those
brought up to the opposite view?
Again, the idea that public office
is to be used as a reward for thu
sfavorites of the appointing power
is coeval with the idea of the owner
ship Of the people by the sovereign
How slowly that idea is supplantet
